Lois Posted October 7 **A Camera Made from a Matchbox** I recently discovered that Leonardo da Vinci was also something of a magician and used the camera obscura to demonstrate various optical illusions. It turns out that the camera obscura is a very ancient invention, meaning that something akin to photography could have been achieved long ago. I didn't know that such a principle existed in ancient times. No lenses are used, and light enters a darkened box through a very small hole. It turns out that you can make a camera using this method from a simple matchbox. It turns out there are companies today that manufacture similar cameras, and there are many enthusiasts who love this method. In my youth, I was a little into photography, but later I gave it up. Otherwise, I would have certainly tried this method. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
